19th- early 20th century glass White Heart (Cornaline d’Aleppo or Hudson Bay) beads were made in Venice and traded all over the world. No wonder as they the color is so alluring, delicious. This group is a beautiful mix of translucent red, like the skin of pomegranite seeds mixed in with several other rare and beautiful glass trade beads. Jewels designed this as a short simple double strand, chic on anyone.

A note about our woven cords. We weave these by hand, every one of them. Like all Jewels’ work no two are exact, as each of us. The work is labor intensive. When warmed to the skin the cord becomes more supple, conforms to the wearer, hangs at it should; the necklace transforms more than just a necklace. It becomes her or him.
